EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in proboscis monkey research. In the image, an anaesthetized male proboscis monkey is seen with a newly fitted satellite collar around its neck. The researchers working on this project must take extensive precautions by wearing full protective suits to prevent any potential infection from viruses like Herpes simian B, which can be carried by these monkeys. The photograph was taken in the lush surroundings of Kinabatangan River, located in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. This region is renowned for its rich biodiversity and serves as an ideal habitat for various species of wildlife. The male proboscis monkey featured here represents one of the many fascinating creatures that call this rainforest home. The dedicated scientists and biologists involved in this study are conducting important fieldwork to better understand the behavior and biology of these unique leaf-eating monkeys. By tagging individuals with satellite collars, they can gather valuable data about their movements and habits within their natural environment. This remarkable image not only showcases the beauty of nature but also highlights the tireless efforts made by researchers to unravel the mysteries surrounding Asian fauna. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and conserve these incredible creatures and their habitats for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
